Karasuma Chitose

Shuya got up and went to the water dispenser to get him a glass of water.

"Thanks."

Gojo smile and drank a large gulp.

What happened?

Shuya asked curiously.

Karasuma Gojo was a voice actor before, and is now a manager.

He was once hailed as a genius voice actor, but unfortunately he failed to achieve true fame and later switched careers to become a manager.

Shuya knows him, and they have a decent relationship.

We're friends, but we don't usually make a point of meeting up.

"Shuya... Have I told you? I have a younger sister."

"She did say something, like she's very willful or something, what happened to her?"

Shuya the Way.

My sister... she's joined our agency.

"Oh? You became a voice actor."

Shuya finished speaking, Hyakka and Haruno exchanged a glance. It's quite rare for siblings to be voice actors.

Although Gojo is no longer a voice actor.

Shuya nodded. "So? She's here today? As the main character?"

"How could that be? I'm just an extra."

Gojo sighed, "Her acting is subpar, and she's run into a tough opponent from the original author."

Seeing her in such a terrible state, I really...

Gojo was utterly helpless.

"That must have been really tough."

Shuya laughed.

He doesn't actually dislike people who take things too seriously.

Being meticulous doesn't guarantee a good animation, but not being meticulous guarantees you won't make a good animation.

Even if it's a minor character, it's understandable if the original author wants to treat it seriously.

However, some things are not a matter of understanding or not.

Animation production is a team effort; if one person gets stuck, everyone has to bear the consequences.

It's easy to imagine the immense pressure that Gojo's sister is currently facing.

As Gojo's manager and older brother, he also faces immense pressure.

"These things do happen occasionally, don't overthink it."

Shuya offered a word of comfort.

"I know."

Gojo nodded; even though he understood this, he was still very weary.

This younger sister... why can't she just give him a break?

Gojo sighed.

Section 360, Chapter 342 Karasuma Chitose

The four chatted in the lounge for a while, and then Gojo, seeing that it was almost time, prepared to leave and go back.

Shuya stood up as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and then Haruno and Hyakka followed.

"You..."

Gojo remained silent.

I'm already so unlucky, and then I run into a bunch of onlookers. My luck is really bad.

Shuya said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to watch the excitement, I'm just observing the customers' satisfaction with our company's recording studio."

"You'd be better off not grinning like that. Where's your acting skill?"

Gojo's rant.

Hehehe.

Shuya burst out laughing.

Hyakka replied, "I'm not really curious, I'm just following the trend..."

Haruno nodded.

"... Do as you please."

Gojo naturally knew that Shuya the young master of this company, and if he wanted to go and see, there was really nothing he could do to stop him.

Shuya know which recording studio they had rented, so he followed behind Gojo.

We arrived after walking only a few steps.

The company has more than one recording studio. The large one can accommodate a symphony orchestra to record background music, the medium one is used to record normal animation dubbing, and the small one is used to record radio dramas and the like.

Upon arriving at their destination, they certainly won't go into the recording studio, lest they obstruct the work.

Shuya followed Gojo into the control room, looking at the recording studio separated only by a glass wall.

There were only three or four people in the recording studio.

Shuya then took another look at the people in the control room, focusing mainly on the supervisors and sound monitors.

There was also a casually dressed man on one side, probably the original author of the light novel.

The man in the suit next to the author must be the editor.

Speaking of supervision, Shuya.

His name is Onuma Makoto. He has talent, but recently his works have been consistently flopping, earning him the nickname "Failure Aura" among viewers.

"Supervisor Onuma."

Shuya went up to greet them, as did Hyakka -chan and Haruno.

"Oh? It's you guys..."

Onuma Makoto was taken aback, but he quickly realized that given their backgrounds, it wasn't surprising that they would meet here.

"What's up?"

"No, I just came to take a look."

"Tsk, so they're just here to watch the show."

Onuma Makoto and Shuya have a good relationship and don't hold back on what they say to each other.

He smiled wryly and gestured for Shuya to look towards the recording studio.

The atmosphere inside was noticeably heavy.

Only one girl stood in front of the microphone.

The sound came out:

Wow! OO is so handsome! I heard he's dating XX!

What's so great about her?

The dialogue is typical of a minor character's speech.

The voice actor is also a typical newbie.

Her voice is nice, but her acting is terrible.

The way it's read aloud is kind of cute.

Shuya couldn't help but chuckle.

Gojo, who had been watching his expression closely, immediately gave a wry smile.

Onuma Makoto looked at the casually dressed, slightly overweight man.

The man covered his head in frustration. "Hmm, something still doesn't feel right."

"Is that so... Miss Karasuma, please try again."

"OK."

Gojo's sister read it again.

The original author still felt it wasn't good enough.

After repeating this more than ten times, it seemed the original author sensed the atmosphere around him and reluctantly accepted it.

Actually, only the original creator would be so conflicted about the voice acting for minor characters.

Shuya felt awkward looking at the atmosphere here.

This feeling that "something's not right" is the most unpleasant.

Even the best actors will die if they encounter this move, since voice actors don't know what their "feeling" is like. They can only try their best to cooperate and rely on their acting skills and experience to get through it.

That being said, Shuya had no intention of defending her, because Gojo's sister, Karasuma Chitose, really had terrible acting skills.

Not only is her acting bad, but this time she also unfortunately ran into a meticulous person; the original author seems to be a perfectionist.

The atmosphere just now was really bad.

Shuya glanced at Karasuma Chitose's profile. She was quite resilient; she didn't show any signs of embarrassment or on the verge of tears. Instead, she lowered her head with a hint of dejection.

He sensed her thoughts and feelings; they were full of dissatisfaction and anger. She was probably internally complaining.

That's correct.

It's understandable that I'd be upset if I was targeted like this, since I was just playing a minor role.

But her acting is really bad; Shuya was three or four years old, he voiced characters better than her.

Shuya smiled, watched the commotion, and then walked out of the control room.

Hyakka and Haruno followed, and Gojo, perhaps feeling the pressure, also came out.

"I'm sorry you had to see this, Shuya."

Gojo smiled bitterly.

"No, everyone has a rookie phase."

Shuya offered some words of comfort.

"Um."

Gojo sighed.

"But I think your sister is very cute."

"Shu-chan?"

"Shu-chan, you..."

Hyakka and Haruno narrowed their eyes.

Gojo also became extremely vigilant. "Shuya, you..."

Shuya waved his hand. "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that in this industry these days, being good-looking is an advantage. You can practice your acting skills if they're not good, but the most important thing is to have a memorable quality in order to survive in the ever-increasing wave of newcomers."

"Being beautiful is a huge advantage; wouldn't it be wonderful to release a photo album every year and make money?"

After all, these days any woman can release a photobook.

"A photobook...?"
